La Fromagerie

Bought cheese, charcuterie, bread and wine to have a picnic at the Eiffel Tower. All absolutely fantastic - forgot to take photos until we were almost done. We were served by Harold who was so kind with his time and really friendly! Merci Harold! 💯 % recommended 🧀 🥖 🍷

La Fromagerie on rue Cler was the perfect introduction to French cheese. As a first-timer, I was a bit intimidated, but the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming. One team member, in particular, was incredibly friendly and helpful—he took the time to understand my palate, walked me through their selection, and offered generous tastings. His knowledge and kindness made the experience feel personal and unpretentious. I left with a selection of cheeses I loved—and a genuine appreciation for the art of French cheese. A must-visit for anyone looking to experience Parisian hospitality at its finest.

The cheeses we got here for a picnic were amazing. The staff was friendly and helpful when we asked for suggestions on cheeses. They also had the most exquisite cherry marmalade. Overall, a very positive experience!

This was our second stop at a cheese shop but this one felt much more welcoming and friendly! The employee who helped us was very helpful and English is always nice to hear when you're trying to pick something out. He gave us samples of two cheeses we wished to try. We ended up purchasing a Comte and an aged Gouda. Would stop again if we were in the area!

Great place. We stopped in to get some cheese for a picnic and the owner was sweet, recommending a nice crunchy cheese to go along with our smooth cheese. She let us try a sample so we new we liked it. We also got a bottle of rosé and she gave us cups. The quality was amazing.

We had a wonderful experience here, loved the cheeses, eggs, butter, salami, everything! Service was friendly, we will definitely be back.

Great selection of cheese, staff was friendly especially one cute lady with curly hairs.

A local cheese shop with a wide variety to choose from! We picked up some truffle brie for a picnic near the Eiffel tower

Beautiful selection of cheese, patient staff willing to help an American tourist with no knowledge of the French language! I purchased some delicious saucisson & asked nicely to have it sliced since I would not be able to cut it in the hotel room. I was very grateful for that, & later purchased a baguette to take everything back to the hotel. Stopped my the grocery store & also bought some white wine. So far, I'm enjoying this visit in France & definitely will need to visit again. A lot to see and not enough time!!

TLDR; a good fromagerie to get some cheese along with some meats/fruits from other shops and have yourself a picnic and champ de mars. i recommend having an idea of what cheese you want to purchase, or at least the type, because the employee seemed impatient with us while we were deciding. my friend and i decided to walk down rue cler to pick up food for our quintessential eiffel tower picnic. we ended up purchasing two types of cheese for our lunch, as well as some meats, quiche, and grapes from other shops (see my other reviews). // store, service // this shop seems to be widely regarded as the main fromagerie in the area. they have a wide assortment of cheeses to choose from. i am not too knowledgeable when it comes to cheese, so i cannot compare prices with other shops, but the cheese seemed to be good quality. we wanted to get recommendations from an employee since we weren't sure what would go best with our meats and grapes. the employee who helped us said comte was the most popular french cheese and gave us a small sample. when you decide what you want, you guide the employee to cut a desired portion and then pay for it. we asked for other recommendations, but the employee was fairly impatient with us and said he didn't know what to tell us. it felt like he was also rushing us to pick and order something, which was not the best feeling (it honestly rushed us in ordering less, whereas if he treated us better we would have ordered more). maybe it's because the language barrier or we were clearly tourists, but he seemed irritated that we asked him for recommendations. // comte and brie cheese // we ended up getting a slice of comte and a slice of brie. the comte is sweet (easy to slice) and we really liked it with our baguette and meats. the brie was creamier (easy to spread on bread). two small slices came out to around 3-4 euros.

Great selection of cheese. Great prices. Lots of other great canapés as well. Will definitely come back when in Paris

Stopped in to this lovely location during a guided cooking experience. Amazing and extensive selection of cheeses. Our guide encouraged us to taste a cheese from one of the countryside of Paris - flora, creamy - one of the best cheeses I've ever had, so I bought two huge chunks, all for 15 euros - can't beat the price for that quality. Family run and friendly but they only speak French - which is fine if you have an idea of what you want and can recognize the cheeses in the case - pointing and improvised sign language works just as well. They'll also vacuum seal cheese for easy suitcase packing! It's on the top of my list for my next Paris trip!!

Proprietor was very helpful making suggestions to me, a man who is clueless about cheese. SO MANY CHOICES. Loved the Comté (firm and pronounced but not too strong) and the Reblochon (mild and creamy). Will pass on the Camembert next time. This Fromagerie also offered some fresh, rustic bread we enjoyed.

Wow, even thinking of La Fromagerie makes me smile. We were recently in Paris for a few days, and saw this amazing cheese shop while walking along Rue Cler. The store front is very well laid out with the many, many different types of cheeses that you could get along with the prices displayed. The staff, one particular gentleman was outstanding. He helped us select which cheeses we wanted, letting us have samples to confirm we wanted what we picked out. We tried to order in French, and he helped us kindly through our mistakes. The cheeses are amazing. You really can't go wrong in here. The prices for the quality of cheese we had just were very reasonable. Treat yourself to great service and great cheese at La Fromagerie.

The lady that runs this place has a nasty attitude. Avoid the nasty attitude of the woman that runs this place and run the other way. When asked her what cheese she would recommend, she said "all cheeses are good" aggressively. Wait until you get home and go to a Wegman's for a better cheese selection and service with a smile. This lady will ruin cheeses in Paris for you.

Their selection of various cheeses is amazing and the staff is very friendly in helping to recommend what you might enjoy. Bonus Tip: You can also buy real french butter here, made with real cream. It does not need to be refrigerated, so feel free to get a stick and bring it back to your room or on a picnic with a Baguette ;) Note: We visited in September 2016

Super friendly! Knew English so made my visit comfortable, I was able to taste a few cheeses and gave me suggestions on some. Great selection and in a perfect location on Rue Cler!

This place is amazing - the young lady(Olga) knew English and was able to give me some great suggestions. We come back every time we're in Paris and make at least three stops during our visit. Do yourself a favor and when you are walking down Rue Cler pick up some cheese for your stay. You won't be sorry
